Ever since I blogged about Ted Rice and Vance Davis, I've wondered what happened to them. I've googled their names on the web, but didn't find much of current interest other than the fact that others are equally interested in updates on these men. I recently ran across the angelfire.com website, so I wrote James Bartley, who along with Grant Vixberg runs the site, and asked if he knew anything of their current whereabouts. His answer:

Thanks for contacting me. As far as I know, and I hope I'm wrong, but Vance
Davis passed away a few years back. I remember the news was being passed around
the internet.

Ted Rice has had health issues for a long time now. As far
as I know, Ted is still alive but I have no means of contacting him. I briefly
corresponded with him in the late '90s/early 2000s but that email addy is no
longer valid.If anyone knows any more than that, please contact me. Seeing as we are both bloggers, James added a few other tidbits. If you have a heart condition, hit the escape button now. The Bible tells us that in the last days, men's hearts will be failing them for fear of the things coming on the earth. And Jesus stated that if he didn't return when he did, "no flesh would be saved." Lots of us are thinking, "Now would be a good time, Lord." No pressure, no rush. Anytime in the next few weeks would be great. After reading several attached files sent to me by a reader, one of which was from the angelfire blog, I have concluded that hell isn't waiting for people to die. Hell is coming to earth to claim the living. Nor does a person have to be evil to fall into the clutches of those horrid entities. Even children are vulnerable for whatever reason. So James added, [and I simply cut and pasted, but couldn't resist fixing some typos]

The archontic/reptilian/demonic forces are in a frenzy right now. The veils
between worlds are thinning.. there IS a new/old planet (Planet X/Nibiru) that is
inbound into our solar system and has been showing up in lots of photos and
videos. The presence of this planet and its entourage are contributing to the
Earth changes and accelerating the pole shift in my estimation.

The
North Pole has radically shifted in just the last two hundred years. Sinkholes
are appearing all over the world and fireballs are falling out of the sky like
they are going out of style.

Well, I don't know about North Pole shifts, but the north is melting away faster than anyone predicted. Not too worried about sinkholes, but when jumbo jets hit invisible objects at 30,000' that bend in half the nose cone, or when birds just fall out of the sky with signs of trauma, you get the feeling that something stealthy is creeping around in our atmosphere. And the meteor over Russia, what if it had hit the earth, or been larger than it was? Did some angelic being zap it with a death ray before it landed?

As for Planet X, in the book Exo-Vaticana (a future blog topic,) the authors visit the Vatican telescopes on Mt. Graham in Tuscon, Arizona. One is called the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT) and the other is the Large Binocular Telescope Near Infrared Utility with Camera and Integral Field Unit for Extraglactic Research (L.U.C.I.F.E.R). With it, Catholic astronomers look for alien life and frequently view UFOs. They speculate as to whether some kind of global messianic event will materialize from the UFO-related occurrences of today. The book authors cite a statement of former Jesuit Malachi Martin:

Because the mentality...amongst those who [are] at the...highest levels of Vatican administration and geopolitics, know...what's going on in space, and what's approaching us, could be of great import in the next five years, ten years. p. 21
The good news is that 10 years has passed and nothing of import has dropped in on us from outer space, and that includes the Ball of Redemption predicted by the Virgin Mary apparition in Bayside, NY or the comet predicted for 1985 by Jean Dixon. But tomorrow's another day.

By the way, there is some strong stuff on the angelfire website. Parental guidance is recommended, and that is even for you, the parent.

Wednesday, June 19, 2013

I recently received a negative comment on my posts about resisting
alien abductions. One strong recommendation that I make is prayer, but it needs
to be prayer to the correct Higher Power. The name of Jesus has probably been
the most effective means of banishing aliens. However, not all agree. Here is
the comment that came through. While I mean no
disrespect to the responder, I think it would be worthwhile to unpack the
response line by line and take a close look at it. I’ve read these arguments
before and understand perfectly where they are coming from.

“Do you realize that
most of your religious beliefs were based on worshipping beings...FLESH and
blood beings from other worlds?”

A goodly number of serious UFO researchers today, including
Whitley Strieber and Jacques Vallee, question whether the “aliens” are actually
from other worlds or planets. Rather, they may well be simply from other
dimensions. As for being flesh and blood, no one has ever seen an alien, demon,
or a ghost bleed. They can disappear, fade away like evaporating mist, walk
through a door or wall, but they don’t tend to bleed because they are not flesh
and blood. They can interact with our dimension by changing matter (changing
the vibrations of molecules?) here, but they can’t stay for long. They don’t
really look like us. Some of what we see from Otherworld may be the spirits of
deceased humans, but other entities were never human. Even if they were flesh
and blood from other worlds (planets) they wouldn’t necessarily be human in the
sense of homo sapiens.

I suggest that you
read some literature other then the bible before you make suggestions about
what people do to avoid abductions.

I’ve read plenty, as reflected in my blog posts, and one
thing that comes through in some of that literature is that quite a few
“aliens” lie, deliberately terrify people, offer phony technology to trap
people into useless obsessions about saving the world, they do experiments on
people without their permission, they use women for breeding purposes,
impregnating them and then kidnapping their fetus, they kidnap our children in
order to implant their agenda into the child’s destiny, they mimic the Virgin
Mary, they use screen memories to hide their deeds, use screens to hide what
they look like, rape both men and women, manipulate people with flattery and
so-called appointed destinies, they try to possess people, and they often leave
scars and illnesses. I’ve also read that the name of Jesus can in many cases
interrupt an abduction and even free the abductor from further harassment. In
other words, there is a huge overlap between the behavior of aliens and demons.
This has been noted in quite a few UFO sources.

Also remember that according
to your own beliefs human are the "cattle" of the gods and we were
not created for knowledge of the gods.

To be the cattle of aliens and the “cattle” of Yahweh are
two very different things. It’s the aliens who leave a trail of dead and
mutilated cattle in their wake. Each cow thus destroyed costs the rancher $1000
to $2000. It’s the aliens who (occasionally) get accused of eating humans or
using blood for sustenance. If the aliens ever accuse us of being cattle, head
for the hills. But when King David, Israel’s second monarch, wrote Psalm 23
comparing himself to a well-cared for sheep, he certainly wasn’t writing as one
who had been held back. Rather he had
been lifted from being an obscure young shepherd to being King of a new nation,
one that had begun as captive slaves in Egypt. David was metaphorically
elucidating the kindness and nurturing of his Lord. Peace, protection from
predators, good pasture (food), protection from unnecessary diseases, a loving
guide in the presence of the threat of death, and vindication in the presence
of enemies. These are all the very reasons why humans seek the aid of any
higher power. There is no reference in the Bible in which people are compared
to dumb cattle unless the metaphor is
showing negative characteristics in the motives and actions of specific people.

And your god's angles frequently destroyed
civilizations he perceived to be too advanced.

This is a worthy accusation. The Pentateuch (the first 5
books of the Bible, Genesis through Deuteronomy) has some grievous commandments
pertaining to treatment of the Canaanites who were doomed to be defeated. “Show
them no mercy” and “kill them all” is a cry often heard in the heat of battle,
even today, and even from American lips. Genocide is a word that every 5th
grader today understands. In the heat of moving into a new land, clashing with
native inhabitants, and foraging for food along the way, it’s quite possible
that zealous scribes put words into Yahweh’s mouth that He didn’t actually say.
Deuteronomy 10:19 tells the Israelites to love the foreigner in their land
because they were foreigners in Egypt. Yet, Deut. 7:1-3 commands to destroy the
nations that they defeat. There were to be no treaties with them nor
intermarriage. For one thing, if you utterly destroy your enemy, there is no
one with whom to intermarry, suggesting that destruction was never total. Thus
the warning. Why did Yahweh favor Israel over those other nations? Perhaps
because the Canaanites worshiped multiple gods made of wood and stone, deities
thought to require child sacrifice, temple prostitution, and black magical
arts. These deities, limited to specific regions, needed to be clothed and fed
and needed to be rescued in times of captivity.Yahweh made it clear that there was no similarity between Himself
and those deities.

In my opinion you are
on the wrong team. Remember the "evil" or fallen angels are the ones
who tried to help by giving us knowledge.

This Gnostic doctrine is being revived today by followers of
a neo-gnostic, serpent-oriented religion. Evil angels, demons, or aliens bless
people in order to ultimately impede and hurt them. Good angels often allow
hurt and delays in order to ultimately bless. God slows us down, but doesn’t
thwart us in the end. He turns our knowledge into wisdom. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For
I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “Plans to prosper you and
not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” The four New Testament gospels
show the goodness of God as manifested in His Son, Jesus Christ, who came to
bless knowledge with healing and wisdom that comes from above and not from
below.

Think about it you
might change your mind about who you are empowering through your prayers.

So you agree that prayer is empowering? Good, because it is,
either for good or for evil. So here we stand again, just like Adam and Eve in
the Garden, listening to the call of two antithetical entities, both offering
life and good things to come, both requiring exclusive loyalty. Now think about
how the story is written. Yahweh and his heavenly council decide to create
mankind in his own image. Yet, until both had eaten the fruit God could not
fully declare that “the man has become like us, knowing good and evil.” So
without that sentient understanding, mankind was only potentially like God. In
that, the serpent was correct. It’s always good to mix a little truth in a lie.
Yet, apparently it was always God’s plan that mankind come to that
understanding. Civilization is not possible without it. But once coming to that
place of choice and understanding, mankind must live with the consequences of
the choices that we make. We don’t punish a 2-year-old the same way we do a
12-year-old or a 22-year-old. Mankind grew up and left the nest. What happens
after that inevitable event depends on who the humans are following.

The real God exists
within us all and all you need to do reach that being is self reflection.

Yes, that was the promise of the serpent. It’s a nice
thought, but it just ain’t true. All the amazing things that humans seem to be
able to do when we get our godhood on is nothing more than us channeling inter-dimensional
entities who are the ones enabling all those amazing gifts.

All those others
beings are just like you and me...flesh and blood just older and more advanced
both technologically and biologically.

Jesus made it clear that God is Spirit and seeks those who
will worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). Psalm 143:10: “Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good
Spirit lead me on level ground.” God would not allow images of Himself to be
crafted because He is NOT flesh and blood, he doesn’t eat, he doesn’t sleep, he
never tires. All these can be found in the Bible. You say the Scriptures are
unreliable. But your sources that helped you form your opinion ARE reliable?
How do you know?

And remember Jesus is
the result of a visit from one of those other beings.

Then why didn’t he look like them? What are all these tales
about regarding a new hybrid species, part alien and part human? And those who
claim to have seen such hybrid beings say they don’t look like us. Aliens can’t
just come to earth and walk around. They are apparently trying to reinvent
themselves, and they are not doing a great job of it because they are not
enrolling their so called offspring into our schools. If the Bible has anything
to tell us, it’s that there is God and there is the Serpent. There is a way of
Life and a way of death. The way of death looks good, just like the fruit on
that Tree. The way to life can be difficult and challenging. The spirit God of
the Old and New Testaments shows us the path of Life. The Serpent is the Lord
of Death.

The abduction story in this post is typical in many ways,
but unique in one aspect. It concretely brings together a UFO sighting, the
alien abduction experience, and a top secret US Government facility called Los
Alamos National Laboratories.

It is also unusual because it began in 1964, a few years
before the Barney and Betty Hill saga of abduction. The Horn family troubles
seem to have been precipitated by Clarence Horn, an Arizona police officer. While hunting
in a remote neck of the woods, he found some strange, perfectly round craters
in the ground. Each hole was about 20 feet across and 8 feet deep with smooth,
glassy sides, which oddly enabled the holes to hold water. Each hole had a deer
in it that had drowned trying to drink the water. There was no sign of
construction or military activity in the vicinity.

Clarence took some photos and reported the holes to the police
department where he worked. He also led a man from the Army Corps of Engineers
to the site, but no one had any idea how the holes could have been made. To
spare the wildlife, they were filled with rocks. Once The Phoenix Gazette wrote an article about it, the case seemed closed. This region was also
famous for the 1975 Travis Walton case, in which a group of loggers saw one of
their group be transported into a UFO.

A few days after the craters were discovered, an aunt who
lived a few houses down from Clarence saw a UFO hovering over the Horn family
home in El Mirage. She didn’t know what it was or what to call it at
the time. The family essentially dismissed that report as being too weird to
pursue. No one had a clue that Clarence’s discovery of the craters had opened a
paranormal portal into which poured illness, terror, death, and mystery.

A few weeks later, Clarence’s
daughter Vida awoke at 2 am screaming about short, bald-headed beings in her
room, accompanied by a sulfurous smell. When family members came rushing in,
the beings just vaporized. Up to that point, she had been a happy, popular
teenager, but after that night she slowly descended into illness and
depression.

Tom wrote in 2006, “For years following, my older sister would
wake up at night with small gray “creatures” around her bed (my research shows
that her first 'visit' coupled with her age and the beginning of menstruation
might not have been a coincidence). This started long before the classic
'abduction' scenario was defined. Though we never spoke openly of this as a
family, my sister shared privately with me about the experiences, but is loathe
to speak of it anymore. Today my sister suffers from many physical
debilitations. So many I've lost count. Slowly I've learned that her
'visitations' continue and include many of the same phenomena reported by other
so-called abductees. She's experienced lost time, had waking nightmares of small
beings pulling her from her bed by the feet, and so on.”

[For two Eternal Gateways blog post descriptions of small
beings pulling people out of bed by their feet, see the interview with Charles Osborne
and the Claudia King story.]

The family members weren’t Christians at the time, but
eventually both Tom and Amil became pastors. Amil joined the Assembly of God
denomination. Tom in particular wanted to understand what was going on with
UFOs and aliens, so he began to read everything he could get his hands on.

“One thing became clear to Horn: The activity seemed demonic, but it was
not possession; this was something else. He had worked for years in exorcism
with a team of specialists, and so-called alien abduction was a malevolence of
an entirely different kind. He wanted to understand and combat it.” Two
books aided his research: The Cosmic
Conspiracy by Stan Deyo and The Omega
Conspiracy by Dr. I.D.E. Thomas. Through Thomas, Horn learned of the Brian
Scott story, in which some of the alien creatures were about 7 feet tall, and
others were 9 feet.

Vida eventually married a nuclear physicist that Tom calls “Joey.”
Joey worked on nuclear and biological warfare in San Diego, but he was
eventually transferred to Los Alamos National Laboratories (LANL). [I find it intriguing that Horn picked a name for Vida's husband that sounds a bit like a mob name.]

Rumors have abounded for years as to what goes on at LANL. Originally
it was associated with the Manhattan Project in WWII. Today unsubstantiated myths
fly about underground tunnels leading to an alien base beneath Archuleta Mesa,
alien bodies, and other paranormal events.

For another story about UFO/paranormal/Uri Geller research
from their sister lab in Livermore, California see Jim Schnabel’s book Remote Viewers: The Secret History of
America’s Psychic Spies, 1997, 162-169.
Geller claimed that he was controlled by a spaceship called Spectra. The
CIA and military had him thoroughly tested at Lawrence Livermore Lab. Things
got so spooky that employees there were weeping when they told their stories to
CIA rep Richard Kennett (a pseudo-name). Kennett himself had an amusing but
wig-popping event in association with the research. All the spooky
manifestations ended when a metallic voice on the phone told LLL to quit
studying Uri Geller. They were happy to comply.

But I digress. One evening Vida and Joey had a few too many
drinks and Vida confessed her troubled past with alien entities. To her shock,
Joey didn’t blink. Instead, also under the influence of a few too many,
confessed to her that those things were real and that they dealt with them at LANL.

“Soon after that
discussion, he disappeared, never to be heard from again. (Was the house
bugged, or did “they” report his conversation?)When her husband did not return home, Vida started calling everybody
she could think of. Nobody had heard from him, not family or friends. She
finally called the police department to report him as missing. Soon afterward,
she received a return call from somebody at Los Alamos who told her that
Luciano had been killed ‘in a job-related accident.’”

The person on the phone related this information as if they
were discussing the price of beans. Vida was informed that there would be no
release of the body and no death certificate. The stunned and grieving widow tried to collect his pension,
but could not with no death certificate. With no income, unpaid bills began to accumulate. Fortunately, Vida’s daughter, Lavida, worked for the Social Security
Administration. She began making phone calls and rattling cages. Mysteriously,
impediments evaporated, and Vida was told that she would have Joey’s pension
and benefits.

As is typical in so many abduction cases, Vida was not the
only experiencer in the family. Lavida had her own stories to tell. She and her
mother drove around a road barrier one day and saw an unidentifiable glowing
object in a field. They both experienced missing time and found the car
relocated when they came to. After that event, Lavida began sleepwalking and losing
her eyesight. She developed a “pseudotumor.” She and her boyfriend saw spooky
shadows in her yard one night when she awoke standing by the back door. Her
boyfriend thought that she had been mugged, because she had a vicious two inch
gash in the back of her head that needed stitches. At the hospital, her blood
showed “high toxicity.” And of course, in the hospital she was visited by two weird strangers who told her, "It's not about what you are now, but what they are going to make of you."

If you want to know about this couple’s encounter with
Stephen Spielberg’s company in Seattle, you’ll have to read the book. It is
clear that Spielberg has a fascination with UFOs and the abduction phenomenon.

“What happened next to
Lavida may or may not have been connected with the Spielberg-Washington event,
but as she arrived home she found several messages on her telephone answering machine.
Somebody named Sharon had started leaving a message when a signal from
somewhere else bled over onto the recording. It is electrical and spooky
sounding, and it is difficult to make out exactly what is being said, but the
recording sounds like, ‘This is Seir…I’m going to have to call her and see if I’m
making her menstruate…Now, colly.’

In demonology, Seir
(also known as Seire, Seere, or Sear)is a Prince of hell with twenty-six
legions of demons under his command. He can go any place on Earth in a matter
of seconds to accomplish the will of the conjurer, while ‘colly’ is a verb
meaning ‘to make soiled, filthy, or dirty.’”

You can go to the Exo-Vaticana website at www.exovaticana.com
and listen for yourself. I did so, and must admit that the recording is
obscure. The beginning might be “this year” or “is she here,” but “This is Seir”
is possible. I heard an sh sound in there. I disagree with the last word being “colly,”
but I couldn’t tell you what it is. I hear an n sound. The word menstruate
sounded like magistrate to me, but I can’t really tell for sure.

Lavida has had other paranormal experiences that indicate
that her home at that time was being influenced by entities that didn’t
belong there. Her story and that of Vida ends with a meeting which author Tom
Horn attended which was held inside an unnamed state building. It was all hush-hush with
a federal investigator, a dozen other experiencers, and attorneys for both sides. There
was a non-disclosure agreement and a monetary settlement. Tom hints that there is "substantially more to
this story that cannot yet be told, including information about other
government ‘counselors’ and what can only be thought of as highly placed ‘covens’
within national agencies that direct abductees according to certain protocols…”

Tom has come to some conclusions: “1) at least some UFO activity
is supernatural deception; 2) true ‘alien abduction’ is demonic in nature; and
3) both are ultimately subject to the authority of Christ." Tom reports that
Vida and Lavida are now free of their paranormal torments.

I totally agree with Tom’s conclusions and would add that narratives continue to accumulate that place high level U.S. personnel in the middle of the story. I will have more to
say about the book Exo-Vaticana and
the companion work Petrus Romanus by
Horn and Putnam. I also want to deal with a book called The Jesuits by Malachi Martin. I would
love to hear from readers who have listened to the audio message on their website. What do
you think it said? Stay tuned.
